It’s performance review time, so I’ve been asking colleagues to comment on how I work, which always feels a little like professional thirst-trapping. Potty-trained a child, which honestly felt like my biggest achievement from the past 12 months (at least). Booked a holiday! My parents are meeting their granddaughter (my niece) for the first time this weekend. She’s four months old. Applied for a leadership thing at work — confronting all my uncomfortable feelings about ‘leadership’.
